Most Bet NFL Wild Card Weekend 1st Touchdowns Breakdown
Derrick Henry (+350)
Derrick Henry is the focal point of the Ravens’ offense and a natural choice for first touchdown bets. Against the Steelers, his ability to dominate on the ground and in goal-line situations makes him a prime candidate to open the scoring.
Saquon Barkley (+400)
The Eagles’ offense flows through Saquon Barkley, and he’s been a consistent scoring threat all season. Hosting the Packers, Barkley’s versatility as both a rusher and receiver gives him multiple ways to find the end zone first.
Ladd McConkey (+800)
For the Chargers, Ladd McConkey is an underrated weapon who thrives in quick, short-yardage situations. Against the Texans, McConkey’s ability to get open near the goal line makes him a valuable dark horse pick for first touchdown.
Josh Allen (+600)
When the Bills need a spark, Josh Allen often delivers with his legs. Against the Broncos, Allen’s knack for calling his own number in the red zone gives him a solid shot at finding the end zone first.
Joe Mixon (+450)
Joe Mixon is a reliable workhorse for the Texans and will likely see heavy usage against the Buccaneers. Whether through a hard-nosed run or a short reception, Mixon has the tools to secure the first touchdown in this matchup.
Betting on first touchdown scorers adds extra excitement to Wild Card Weekend, and these popular picks offer strong value and upside. From Derrick Henry’s power to Ladd McConkey’s sneaky versatility, there’s no shortage of options to kick off the scoring in these pivotal playoff matchups.
